A contemporary view of the opening of Parliament at Blackfriars on 15 April 1523. On Henry VIII’s right is Thomas Wolsey, Archbishop of York, indicated by his Cardinal’s hat. At upper left, Sir Thomas More, Speaker of the Commons with 13 more MPs behind him. Is Cromwell one of them? He was returned to this Parliament, representing an unnamed constituency – his first step on the ladder to fortune. From
The Wriothesley Garter Book
, purchased by Queen Victoria.

Henry VIII, by Hans Holbein the Younger. A propaganda portrait painted
c
. 1534–6, showing Henry in all his imperial splendour. In reality, in the words of one of Cromwell’s victims, Sir Edward Nevill, the King was ‘a beast and worse than a beast’.

Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, by an unknown artist,
c
. 1520. His letters to Cromwell after his fall from power make pitiful reading.

Thomas More, after Holbein. He warned Cromwell always to tell the king what he ought to do, ‘but never what he is able to do … For if a lion knew his own strength [it would be] hard for any man to rule him.’
